Hi all, I've just noticed tonight that MOK (1.6 16v) has developed a whine from the engine when accelerating. I've eliminated the gearbox as the problem as it still occurs when stationary and revs are built up; from the sounds of it the noise is coming from the timing belt.
Any information on what the most common causes of this could be around that area?
I've no idea when the belt was last changed so I'm assuming a garage trip is in order (not my area of expertise timing cars by miles!) but having a clue as to what it may be would put me at ease prior to New Year!
Many thanks in advance!
